RSS Stripping HTML formatting

  • Hi,

    Thanks for taking a look at my question, I hope it is a quick fix. I have a wordpress installation which, for some reason, is removing embed tags, img tags, etc which are part of the original posting when viewed through the rss feed.

    I’ve examined, extremely briefly wp-rss2.php and did not find anything that would be stripping such things, although it seems to call functions which are deeper within the code that I did not investigate. I’d rather not have to change anything there as I like to upgrade cleanly and properly every version rather than try to remember where I put in a hack.

    I’ve also tried viewing my feed with all my plugins turned off (I thought podpress might be doing something)

    Is this a known problem? Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look?

  • RSS feeds don’t have that stuff by design. Feeds are ‘intended’ to be read by feedreaders, which don’t need the extra fluff.

    whoami: Doesn’t matter, feeds are not intended to have that stuff stripped out. In my specific case, WordPress is not stripping out the feed. The content:encoded contains the full HTML. The description is stripped, but it’s supposed to be, as it’s an excerpt.

    ykidwai: Do you have full feeds enabled on Options->Reading? Are you looking at the description field, or the content:encoded field?

    Otto,

    Thanks for the response. I went to check the content:Encoded and re-ran my plug test and realized that it IS indeed PODPRESS which is stripping out my img tags and embed tags..

    glad to know where the problem is, thanks for your help
